I’ve just spent a lovely couple of hours in the company of about 20 other likeminded vegans, all gathered together hoping to soak up some of the vegan baking wisdom about to be imparted upon us by Elizabeth Draper, aka Elizabeth D Bakes. Born and raised in Alabama, Elizabeth is now an honorary Brit, having…

A very brief post to update an old recipe: It was The Boy’s birthday at the weekend and I promised I’d bake him whatever he wanted. He chose my carrot cake, but unfortunately I was missing a few vital ingredients and didn’t fancy another trip to the supermarket. So this is an update to an…

In honour of National Chocolate Day this week, I shared a pic on Instagram of a dairy & egg free chocolate cake I made recently. I had a few requests for the recipe, so here it is folks, enjoy! Cake Ingredients 340g self raising flour 60g cocoa powder 240g caster sugar 2 tsp baking powder…

Who doesn’t love a good cheesecake? Creamy, rich, indulgent… And you’d have thought that being vegan means giving up on decadent treats such as these, but you’d be wrong. I love finding a dairy-free, vegan friendly alternative to some of my old favourites, and this one is sure to impress even your non-vegan friends. The…

Yesterday I dedicated a whole, rather lengthy, post to the wonder that is the humble sweet potato. Today I am sharing with you my first attempt at baking Oil-free Spicy Sweet Potato Fries. Having seen many an Instagram post of other people’s delicious looking oil-free fries, I wanted to give it a go myself,…

Vegan Spicy Carrot + Walnut Cake with Zingy Lemon + Cashew Frosting The original version of this recipe produced 12 deliciously spicy Carrot & Walnut Cupcakes, but more recently I’ve been turning it in to a slightly more grown up cake. The recipe remains fundamentally the same, however I swapped the gluten-free brown rice flour…

Last weekend I finally did something I’ve been thinking about for a while. I spent 13 hours baking on Saturday, then on Sunday I sold the results of my hard work at my very own market stall at Palmer’s Green’s Market N13. Everything I sold was homemade, organic and of course, most importantly, vegan….

One of my favourite things that my Mum used to cook (pre-veganism, so carnivorous of course) was Lasagna. We used to have it with salad, which I’d smother in some kind of fat laden dressing, but it was comforting & I loved it. Today I’ve made a healthier & vegan version, with no pasta in…

Fun fact about Coconut Oil – Did you know it’s actually a metaboliser? Lots of people stay away from coconut oil because of the high saturated fat content. However it contains a unique combination of medium chain fatty acids that can actually help you to lose weight, especially around your tummy. These fatty acids boost…

This week has been British Pie week. My mum celebrated by making a goats cheese & caramelised red onion pie on Monday. I know it’s not vegan, but they’re carnivores and it was at least for Meat Free Monday. I wanted to celebrate the week in my own little vegan way so today I made…

This is the first weekend I’ve had in a while that is completely free. After a long week of Birthday celebrations & a late night Jivamukti session at Training Temple in Enfield last night, I treated myself to a lie in this morning. Here’s how I plan to spend the rest of my free dream…
